                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 7, 2022

  Mr. ALLEN. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate my 
constituent, Rhett Robinson, upon his acceptance to the United States 
Merchant Marine Academy.
  As a future midshipman, he will be joining the ranks of the world's 
most elite naval force, guided by the motto: ``Acta Non Verba.''
  The service and sacrifice of America's military personnel have 
safeguarded our nation since its inception, defending our way of life 
from Lexington to Normandy.
  A vital part of our Nation's maritime operations, the Merchant 
Marine's duties are dynamic--transporting cargo and passengers during 
peacetime and serving as an auxiliary to the United States Navy during 
times of war.
  I was glad to sponsor Rhett's nomination, as his dynamism reflects 
the mission of the branch which he will soon serve. I am confident that 
his talents will distinguish him among his peers during his time at the 
Academy and thereafter.
  I congratulate Rhett, and know that he will make this Nation proud.
